How to use the Library

You may request items from any library in the Emory Libraries system. You will be notified by email once your request is available at your chosen pick up location. 

Items that are requested from off campus locations such as the Library Service Center and Oxford College Library are usually sent within two business days. 

To request an item from another Emory Library: 

• Log in to your Library Search account
• Look up the item and open the item record
• Click on the Locate/Request this Item button
• Click on Request Physical Item button

Notes:

• Undergraduate students on the main Emory campus are not able to request items that are available in the the Robert W. Woodruff Library.
• If you are a non-Emory visitor without an Emory account, you can request Library Service Center materials with the Visitor Material Request Form. 

When requesting an item form the library, you can select the following choices as your pick up location:

• Law Library
• Pitts Theology Library
• Robert W. Woodruff Library 
• Robert W. Woodruff Library Outdoor Lockers
  • A self-service locker kiosk that allows patrons to check out Emory Libraries items they have placed on hold in a convenient, contact free method, with 24/7 outdoor access. Please reference the Locker FAQ for additional details.
• Woodruff Health Sciences Center
• Oxford College Library 
• Library Service Center

If you are looking for materials not available or owned by Emory, you can submit an Interlibrary Loan request. 

An interlibrary loan request can be submitted through Illiad. 

Interlibrary Loans are processed by the Woodruff Interlibrary Loan Office. They can be reached by (404) 727-6874 or mainill@emory.edu.
